Description

A stand-alone addition to the New York Times and Indie bestselling Voice of the Wilderness novels by Rosanne Parry. Westerly the raven fears she won't survive the prophecy she was born to fulfill in this enthralling animal survival story about destiny, leadership, and bravery. Includes a map and extensive backmatter.

On Westerly the raven's otherwise ink-black tail, one bright white feather stands out. Westerly stands out, too. She isn't like her brother and sister--she's different. Everyone knows it, including the roost's storykeeper, who proclaims that Westerly alone is destined to save her fellow ravens from a terrible fate. Questioning her destiny, isolated from her family, and full of doubt, Westerly takes to the sky, vowing never to return. But when a once-in-a-lifetime volcanic eruption finds her, she has no choice but to flee in the direction of home.

A Raven of the Rainforest is a stand-alone companion to Rosanne Parry's bestselling Voice of the Wilderness novels, A Wolf Called Wander, A Whale of the Wild, A Horse Named Sky, and A Wolf Called Fire. Set in the temperate rainforests of the Pacific Northwest, A Raven of the Rainforest tells a gripping animal survival story about family, courage, faith, leadership, and hope. Illustrated in black-and-white throughout and impeccably researched, A Raven of the Rainforest is an excellent read-aloud for parents and teachers.

Each Voice of the Wilderness novel contains:

  • Spectacular black-and-white illustrations throughout
  • A map of the protagonist's journey
  • Information about the real-life animals who inspired each story
  • Detailed descriptions of the habitats, flora, and fauna mentioned in the book
  • Resources for young readers who want to learn more

Kirkus Reviews

Powerful prose and evocative imagery capture the hushed majesty of the natural world, which is enhanced by [Howard] Gray's quietly gorgeous black-and-white illustrations. Parry conjures a rich inner life for Westerly, and is skilled at incorporating fact-based material in imaginative, engaging ways. A soul-stirring epic for young nature lovers and budding environmentalists.
